About

Having sung lead roles in Madama Butterfly, Jenůfa, and Salome in recent seasons, soprano Asmik Grigorian makes her West Coast debut at Cal Performances in an all-Russian-language recital, performing rarely heard songs—“small pieces of opera in a few minutes,” she calls them—by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. She is joined by her frequent collaborator, pianist Lukas Geniušas.
